The Pinnacle of Intelligent Connectivity
The TCG.5 represents the peak of the TCG platform family — a next-generation data and connectivity unit built for the most demanding applications in mobile machinery and off-highway equipment. Combining exceptional processing performance, advanced connectivity and precise positioning, it sets a new benchmark for edge computing in the field.
At its core, a powerful quad-core processor delivers the computing capacity required for real-time data processing, AI-based edge analytics and high-bandwidth communication. Whether managing complex sensor networks, autonomous functions or advanced telematics, the TCG.5 provides the performance headroom needed for the next generation of connected machines.
The device supports 5G for global high-speed communication and integrates an extended set of wireless technologies for versatile M2X applications — including machine-to-machine, machine-to-infrastructure and machine-to-cloud connectivity. With its scalable architecture, it bridges local networks and cloud environments seamlessly, acting as the central digital hub of the machine.
Precision and Performance at the Edge
The TCG.5 introduces a new level of precision in positioning and timing. Its high-end GNSS receiver operates with a 20 Hz update rate and supports RTK correction and Dead Reckoning using an integrated IMU. This enables highly accurate, continuous positioning even under challenging conditions such as urban canyons, forests or tunnels — essential for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle functions.
To handle the rapidly growing volume of data from cameras, LIDAR and other advanced sensors, the TCG.5 provides multiple Ethernet interfaces with high data throughput. These allow for distributed architectures and fast data exchange between perception systems and central control units. Combined with robust CAN and serial interfaces, the device ensures comprehensive connectivity across both legacy and next-generation systems.
Running on Embedded Linux, the TCG.5 offers a fully open and modular software environment for custom applications, containerized workloads and advanced data management at the edge. OEMs can flexibly deploy their own logic, machine learning models or connectivity frameworks directly on the device — reducing latency and cloud dependency.
Secure, Scalable and Future-Ready
Like all members of the TCG family, the TCG.5 builds on a proven security foundation. It follows state-of-the-art cyber security principles and complies with the EU Cyber Resilience Act, ensuring that connected systems remain protected over the entire product lifecycle. Secure boot, encrypted communication and OTA update mechanisms provide a robust foundation for long-term operation in connected fleets.
Designed for maximum scalability, the TCG.5 is fully software compatible with other TCG products, simplifying migration and system integration. Its rugged, industrial-grade design meets the highest standards of reliability and durability.
With its unparalleled computing power, precision positioning and rich connectivity, the TCG.5 is the pinnacle of intelligent machine connectivity — the digital backbone for tomorrow’s autonomous, data-driven and high-performance equipment.
